Lewis Ludwig, associate professor of mathematics and computer science, was named the Nancy Eshelman Brickman Endowed Professor in Memory of Ellenor Shannon at the Academic Awards Convocation on Friday afternoon.

The annual Academic Awards Convocation on April 19, 2013 was a big one for the department. Dr. Jessen Havill was honored with the prestigious Charles A. Brickman Teaching Excellence Award; Nat Kell ’13 was named a President’s Medalist, Denison’s most prestigious student honor; and Dr. Ashwin Lall was awarded the Bayley-Bowen Faculty Fellowship, which recognizes the superior talent of an untenured professor.
